ƽ DANGER

Do not use an open fl ame to check for gas
leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open
fl ames in the area while you check for leaks.
Sparks or fl ames will result in a fi re or explo-
sion which can cause serious bodily injury or
death, and damage to property.

7) Check for leaks by wetting the fi tting with the soap and

water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles form,
or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.

If there is a leak, turn off the gas and tighten the fi tting. Turn
the gas back on and recheck with the soap and water solu-
tion.
If leak does not stop, Contact the Customer Service Repre-
sentative in your region using the contact information sheet
provided with your manual. Do not use the barbecue.
